Title: Hard Top Storage
Post by: Endless on June 15, 2011, 03:48:32 PM
I'm just wondering what options are available for storing the hard top for a TJ.  I'm living in an apartment and there is no onsite storage large enough.  I've called a handful of storage companies and they all seem to list 5 x 5 then 5 x 10.  Last year I was lucky to cram it in a 5 x 5 storage facility but I scratched it and I'd like to avoid that this year now that I know they are 64" wide.

Do you have a parking spot underground at your condo? If so build this (see link below) and put it in your spot, your Jeep will still fit lengthwise in the spot too.  I know cuz this is what I've done.  FYI its the easiest thing you'll ever build! Costs about $40-ish dollars for all the stuff from Rona.

Sadly no I don't have that as an option.

That's too bad!!  I asked this same question before I came across the thread from JeepForum I posted earlier.  And a few guys said that Modern Motors used to store hardtops in the parts yard. Try giving them a call.
